Question
What gifts were given to Fatimah on her marriage from Muhammad (PBUH)?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
There are many narrations about the items that the Prophet 
gifted Faatimah 
when she got married with ‘Ali 
. For instance, Ibn ‘Abbaas narrated, “When the Prophet married off Faatimah to ‘Ali, among the items that he gifted her were a bed embellished with ribbon, a leather pillow filled with palm-tree fiber and a water-skin.” [An-Nasaa’i]
Abu Nu’aym 
reported the above narration in "Hilyatul-Awliyaa’" with the following addition, “…and a copper bowl containing Aqit (dry cottage cheese).” Moreover, Ibn Hibbaan reported that ‘Ali said, “The Prophet prepared Faatimah for marriage with a Khameelah (a white woolen dress), a leather pillow stuffed with palm-tree fiber.”
From the above narrations, we can conclude that the Prophet gifted Faatimah a bed, a dress, a pillow, a water-skin and a bowl containing some Aqit.
Allaah Knows best.
